Media Player - Network too busy to play file at original quality
Specific details: Windows 7, updated, SP1 etc. Problem goes away after a power cycle, but recurs within a short time. Other media players (VLC, Real etc) unaffected and work perfectly.
It's important to make clear that the videos are being played from the local hard disk on a standalone system. There is no network connection - I am not streaming from anywhere.
Cannot find any reason for this behaviour. All help gratefully received!.
